Great recipe. I did use 2 taco seasoning packets instead of one. The flavor was great. Served it with sour cream and it was a hit. The left overs tomorrow i will serve as tacos on tortillas. The only thing i will change next time i make it is use a diffrent type of bean. Kidney beans not a big hit with the kids.

This was so yummy, I made it twice and tweaked it to my taste. I omitted the beans, green peppers and green chiles. I'm not a fan. I also added an extra taco packet and can of the nacho cheese soup to the ground beef. 15 minutes before the time was up I sprinkled a shredded Mexican cheese blend on top, and continued to bake. Also we ate it rolled in flour tortillas with sour cream. Soooo good.

This initially looked pretty good and then I started to make it and feared that it would turn out to be a glorified hamburger helper type dish. It was. If you're 12 and under, this will be a hit. Otherwise, make something else for dinner.
